Ottawa man detained in
Cuba after shoving match
CBC

23, 2006.
An Ottawa man has been detained in Cuba
after an altercation with a masseur who
allegedly touched his wife inappropriately
during a massage.
Police seized Clyde Carrière's passport
after the masseur's ankle broke during a
shoving match between him and Carrière.
Carrière was staying at the Sol
Cayo Coco hotel in Cuba with his wife, Lynne,
and two children, aged five and seven.
Lynne said she was getting a massage when
the masseur began touching her breast, kissing
her and telling her she was beautiful. She
walked out without paying.
But later, when her husband returned to
the beach, the masseur insisted on payment
for the massage. A shoving match between
the two erupted, and the masseur's ankle
was broken.
Authorities have seized Clyde Carrière's
passport, stranding him in the country.
The Canadian embassy in Cuba has said they
will offer consular assistance.
Lynne and her children have returned Friday
to their home in Embrun.
